The hospital CEO immediately came forward with respect. “We have been expecting you, Mr. Johnston.”
Jared replied indifferently, “Where is the surgeon?”
The CEO immediately replied, “Don’t worry. I have asked our best surgeon to wait in the treatment room.”
Jared nodded and immediately led Nicole inside. The hospital CEO immediately led the way for the two of them.
They soon arrived at the treatment room. As soon as Nicole walked in, she saw a figure in a white robe. Looking from behind, Nicole found the doctor looking somewhat familiar.
Hearing the voice, the doctor looked back, and the moment their eyes met, Nicole instantly recognized the doctor.
“It is you.” Martin was also pleasantly surprised to see Nicole. He never expected that the special patient needing his emergency treatment today was Nicole.
“I didn’t know that you were working in this hospital.” Nicole knew at once that he had been keeping his father, Sebastian, in the dark about his practice in this hospital.
Martin nodded silently, signaling Nicole to keep it a secret.
Jared saw their interaction and asked, “You guys know each other?”
“Yeah, we met once.” Nicole nodded.
Hearing Nicole’s answer, Martin felt a little disappointed.
But upon thinking about it, he realized Nicole’s response was entirely normal. He might have watched the videotape of the No. 16 racer and known Nicole for a long time, but Nicole really did not know him yet.
Jared glanced up and down at Martin, thinking he was another suitor of Nicole. He was upset by the many men who always surrounded Nicole.
Martin sat down and said, “I heard you were injured.”
At first, he had only heard about the condition of an important patient and did not give it a second thought. But when he knew Nicole was ill, he became anxious.
“It’s just a minor cut.” Nicole was not worried.
“Open the dressing and take a look,” Jared said.
Seeing Jared’s frown, which looked more worried than Nicole was, Martin could not help but take a second glance at him. He was curious about Jared’s relationship with Nicole.
Martin motioned for Nicole to sit down, took off the dressing, and examined the wound.
His heart skipped a beat when he found that the wound’s edges rolled outward. “The wound is caused by some hard object like glass; the cut is deep and could leave scars if not treated properly.”
Jared’s face turned grave. “That’s why we come to you. Can you treat it?” He had asked Max to find the best surgeon in San Joto for Nicole.
Martin nodded. “Don’t worry. I will take care of it.”
He took Nicole to the treatment area and started to re-disinfect and bandage Nicole’s wound. Nicole never batted an eyelid during the entire time.
Martin saw how tough she was and could not help but feel sorry for her. He could not imagine how much pain Nicole had experienced before this to be so immune to pain now.
“If it hurts, you can make a sound,” he said in a low voice.
Nicole smiled and pursed her lips. “I’m fine.”
It hurt Jared to see her reaction. But looking at Martin’s excessive concern about Nicole, he felt inexplicably upset. Jared shot a glance at Nicole and said, “You don’t have to pretend to be strong with me by your side.”
It was heartwarming to hear that, and Nicole looked over at Jared involuntarily with light in her eyes.” Okay.”
She was just used to tolerating pain, but no one ever told her not to pretend to be strong. With him by her side, it felt so good to be pampered.
Martin looked at the loving interaction between the two and started to sense the unusual relationship between Jared and Nicole. He felt jealous, and his hands that were doing the dressing shuddered.
This hurt Nicole. Only then did she frown.
